Peskov: Trump’s opinion on Crimea is in line with the Russian leadership approach

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “US President Donald Trump’s remarks that Ukraine had lost Crimea years ago is fully consistent with the leadership approach in Moscow.”

Trump on Wednesday criticized Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelksky’s remarks about the Crimea’s failure to recognize, pointing out that it was damaging peace talks with Russia.

Asked how the Kremlin could comment on Trump’s remarks that Ukraine had lost Crimea years ago, Peskov said, “It is fully in line with our understanding and what we have said for a long time.”

A spokesman for the Kremlin emphasized that Moscow would continue to cooperate with the United States and aims to continue efforts to achieve peace.

“Russia continues to cooperate with the American side,” Peskov said. We are focused on continuing efforts to achieve peace.

He added that Russia appreciates US mediation efforts in Ukraine’s settlement.

He reiterated that the Russian armed forces are attacking military targets and other goals related to the Ukrainian armed forces in the country, and yes, this is quite unacceptable to us about the deployment of so -called military forces on Ukraine. This is a vital danger to the whole of Europe and the world.

Asked whether or not the basic talks are being held on the use of gas weapons with Russia and Europe, Peskov said, “No, it’s not … This is a commercial story. There is a gas seller, there is potential gas buyers. If buyers are interested, if the transit route works, no one will be ready to talk about.

“Everything about nuclear weapons is identified in our doctrine,” a spokesman for the Kremlin said. This doctrine is available.

Russia updated its nuclear doctrine in November. According to this doctrine, Russia’s rape by a non -country country with the participation or support of a nuclear state will be regarded as their joint attack. In a televised speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine had fired AtacMS missiles and the shadow of the British storm into the Korsk and Briank areas. In response, Russia launched an attack on Ukraine’s defense industry installations, the Ukrainian Factory in Denperoptropsk (Denipro) on November 7, using its latest mid -range missile.

A Kremlin spokesman did not comment on the alleged details of the “Peace Plan” for Ukraine.

On Wednesday, the Washington Post reported that the United States was outraged by Kiev’s unwillingness to accept land privileges and its preference to discuss the ceasefire before other issues. The newspaper reported on Tuesday that the United States is scheduled to propose to recognize Crimea as part of Russia and block the current front lines as part of the peace deal in negotiations with Ukraine and Europe representatives in London.

“We cannot and do not want to comment on any leaks of the details of the alleged plan,” Peskov told reporters. We repeat, the work is going on. We only talk on our own. We are focused on the continuation of the resolution process and appreciate the US mediation services.

“Considering Russia’s interests is a prerequisite for achieving peace in Ukraine,” the official added.

He also said about the London summit: “The plans to hold a higher level meeting about Ukraine in London changed due to problems with the convergence of positions between the participants.” As far as we found out, expert consultations were carried out in London, as there were no negotiations, we find that there were problems with the support of supporters that led to a change in programs for a higher political level in London. ”

Moscow sees specific differences in the process of negotiations on Ukraine’s settlement between the United States, Europe and Ukraine, the official added.

He also said about the proposals of the Russian National Security Council to replace the International Criminal Court: Russia will discuss with Brix countries about the creation of an alternative to the International Criminal Court (ICC) within the framework of the association.

“I haven’t examined the details of the initiative yet, but of course it has been done, and we will continue to talk to our partners in Brix countries, and we will continue to talk (about creating a replacement for ICC within the framework of the community,” Peskov told reporters.

On Wednesday, Axius quoted an American official as saying that Putin’s and Trump representative’s visit may be held on Friday. The White House later confirmed the US Special Envoy to Russia. “If there are new calls between the President and Witakaf, we will let you know,” Peskov told reporters. We don’t hide anything. We will let you know. There are no details about this trip, but everything changes very quickly.
